Even the NY Times is Trashing Kamala's MSNBC Interview It's not exactly a secret that Kamala Harris is deliberately seeking out friendly ground for her "interviews" since becoming the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Nor is it a secret that these interviews haven't exactly gone well for her. No matter how much she tries to stack the deck in her favor, she doesn't come across well. Generally speaking, you have to go to conservative-leaning outlets to get a more fair assessment of her performances, though. For example, last month she did a joint interview with her running mate Tim Walz on CNN conducted by anchor Dana Bash—and it went terribly. That didn't stop Bash from defending Kamala's performance in a subsequent interview. Of course. Kamala just did another interview, this time with anchor Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC, and once again, it didn't go well. Kamala just has a problem with actually answering questions. Heck, even Ruhle conceded this point, although she still proceeded to play defense for her. But, the New York Times actually trashed the interview—and Kamala's performance.

Thanks, Bidementia & Kommie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua used NYC migrant shelters to build a criminal empire: 'Hiding in plain sight' In little more than a year, a once-obscure South American street gang has taken hold in the Big Apple, exploiting the migrant crisis to build a violent criminal enterprise from within the walls of city shelters. Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-bred crew of thugs, now terrorize Gotham with gun-toting, moped-riding hoods, sell illegal guns under the very noses of private shelter security guards, and run sleazy prostitution rings in neighborhoods suddenly besieged by the marauding migrants. The gang, which also peddles a lethal fentanyl mix called Tussi or "pink cocaine," has grown so fast that it has so far overwhelmed both average New Yorkers and the city's elite police force.

Moderator For VP Debate Tied To Donations For Radical, Pedo-Friendly 'Lincoln Project' The husband of one of the two moderators in next week's CBS News debate featuring vice presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz appears to have made two donations of $250 apiece to the controversial Lincoln Project during the 2020 election. Records from the Federal Election Commission show that Ali "Yado" Yakub, the husband of Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, contributed on July 2 and Sept. 26 of that year to the anti-Trump super-PAC.

HOW TO DRIVE IN HOUSTON 1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, HEWston. Foreigners are still allowed to call it YOUston. 2. The morning rush hour is from 5 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning. 3. The minimum acceptable speed on I-45 is 80 mph. On 99 and 59, your speed is expected to at least match the highway number. Anything less is considered "wussy." 4. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Houston has its own version of traffic rules. For example, Ferraris and Lamborghinis owned by sports stars go first at a four-way stop. Cars/trucks with the loudest muffler go second. The trucks with the biggest tires go third. The HOV lanes are really designed just for the slow Louisianans passing through who are used to hogging the left lane everywhere. 5. If you actually stop at a yellow light or stop sign, you will be rear-ended, cussed out, and possibly shot. Unless there is a police car nearby. 6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously. It's another offense that can get you shot. 7. Road construction is permanent and continuous. Detour barrels are moved around for your entertainment pleasure during the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting. Generally, city roads other than the main streets have more potholes and bumps (usually speed bumps) than most dirt roads in the countryside. 8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks, ladders, possums, skunks, dogs, barrels, cones, furniture, cats, mattresses, shredded tires, squirrels, rabbits, crows, and spools rolling down I-10 and the 610 South Loop. 9. Be aware that the spelling of street names may change from block to block. 610 may be South Loop West, East Loop South, etc. 10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know that it has been "accidentally activated." 11. If you are in the left lane and driving only 75 mph in a 55-to-65-mph zone, you are considered to be a road hazard and will be "flipped off" accordingly. If you return the flip, you will be shot. MOST IMPORTANT: If you get LOST, look for I-45... then you are somewhere in Houston.

And your reasoning therefor, BD ma'am?

Every inch of my being, except those of my waistline, agree with you.

And it's highly likely that some of them are actually thinking that.

I was in a Hezbollah tunnel – this is what awaits Israel [...] It was May 2020 when I toured the tunnel with an Israeli army commander, a time when a full-scale Israeli invasion of Lebanon was only a vague possibility. But with a possible ground invasion looming, the tunnel offers just a glimpse of the type of enclosed, difficult territory Israeli troops will be facing. It is also just one component of Hezbollah's vast arsenal, which also includes huge quantities of precision Iranian missiles smuggled into Lebanon via Syria. Col Roi Yosef Levy, then Israel's Northern Border brigade commander for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said as he showed me around the tunnel, "[It took] 14 years to build and only a few people inside Hezbollah knew about it." Had the tunnel not been discovered, Israel suspects it would have been used to launch a surprise assault on the north, perhaps to capture hostages and then take them back to Lebanon. Hezbollah's tunnel network is now feared to have grown even more vast and sophisticated in the four years since its discovery, posing a challenge for Israel should it opt for a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Israel estimates that the tunnel network, which can be used for hiding shock troops for attacks or moving supplies, stretches for hundreds of kilometres.

Perhaps so -- worth some research or asking ChatGPT. I saw a store called Woolworth's in Matamoros, Mexico in approx. 2006. It was somewhat similar to those in the U.S. that I dimly remembered. However, next time I went, it was named something else.

If everybody else* would just get off the road, this would be a better world. *including bored constables

And Medicare drug costs are way up from last year, too, aren't they?

Southeastern Texas is civilized, gentlemen -- it rarely snows and doesn't last. If I never see another flake of snow, I won't care!

Where is NB to comment on this?

They grow up $o fa$t, $i and $igh mam ma'am.

Costco, yes, for what's on sale that month. I get everything that I possibly can at Aldi as a first stop. The savings are incredible. I then fill in at other markets, typically on the basis of sales or coupons.

You don't include such information in this letter. Use the standard verbiage that's required, and nothing more. Nope. Explain it when asked. Dismiss this attorney, if you're getting yet another bad piece of advice.

Biden Rushed Into Surgery After Eating Sock WASHINGTON—After paramedics used a scalpel to open an airway and keep him from asphyxiating en route to the hospital, President Joe Biden was reportedly rushed into surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday to remove a sock that had become lodged in his throat after he tried to eat it. "While it's true President Biden partially ingested a striped dress sock earlier today, I want to assure everyone that this is a routine surgery, and the president is expected to be back home enjoying his favorite treats in just a few hours," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who confirmed the commander-in-chief had stolen the sock from a partially open drawer in the Executive Residence while Secret Service agents weren't looking and had [...] https://theonion.com/biden-rushed-into-surgery-after-eating-sock/
